Realtime API: Did anybody managed to provide previous conversation transcript history while keeping audio answers?

API Bugs
6

What are people doing about this? i.e how are people maintaining conversation history? When sending multiple events of type conversation.item.create = text the response from the API changes to text.

The options I see so far are:

  1. Send a single conversation.item.create event that has text as per below
{
                        "type": "input_text",
                        "text": """
                             User: Who was Vladimir Lenin?
                             Assistant: Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 and the founder of the Soviet Union. He was a Marxist revolutionary who aimed to create a socialist state and led Russia through a civil war, establishing the foundation of Soviet communism.
                             User: Who was Joseph Stalin?
                             Assistant: Stalin succeeded Lenin as the leader of the Soviet Union. Known for his totalitarian rule, he transformed the USSR into a major world power but did so through brutal policies, including widespread purges, forced collectivization, and repression. His rule is marked by significant industrial progress but also severe human rights abuses and mass deaths.
                             """,
                    }
  1. Send a session.update event with instructions such as
"instructions": """
                You are a friendly AI assistant. Respond to me very briefly in English. Reference previous conversation history when asked. 
                
                Previous conversation:
                -----------------------------------
                User: Who was Vladimir Lenin?
                Assistant: Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 and the founder of the Soviet Union. He was a Marxist revolutionary who aimed to create a socialist state and led Russia through a civil war, establishing the foundation of Soviet communism.
                User: Who was Joseph Stalin?
                Assistant: Stalin succeeded Lenin as the leader of the Soviet Union. Known for his totalitarian rule, he transformed the USSR into a major world power but did so through brutal policies, including widespread purges, forced collectivization, and repression. His rule is marked by significant industrial progress but also severe human rights abuses and mass deaths.
                """,

How are others doing it? My approach at this stage, will be to send a session.update event with the previous conversation.

Excuse the reference to Russian leaders.
